TURKEY MEATBALLS IN TOMATO SAUCE
Tender meatballs filled with onions and Parmesan, bathed in plenty of tomato sauce, are classics in every way except for one: They call for turkey instead of the usual beef (or beef-veal-pork combination). Serve them over spaghetti or polenta, or stuff them into a hero roll for a sandwich. Try to use ground dark meat turkey here if you can, it has a deeper, richer flavor than ground white meat.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine cheese, bread crumbs, onion, chives, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and red pepper flakes, if using, and mix well. Add turkey and egg and blend with your hands until well mixed. If you've got time, cover mixture and chill for an hour or up to 24 hours. These are easiest to form into balls while very cold. Form into 28 meatballs, each about 1 1/4-inches in diameter.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large sauté pan. When hot, add enough of the meatballs to fit in one layer without crowding, and brown on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate, add another tablespoon of oil to pan and brown another layer of meatballs, transferring them to the plate as they brown. Repeat until all meatballs are browned, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
- When meatballs are all browned, add marinara sauce to pan and bring to a simmer, scraping up the browned bits on the pan bottom. Return meatballs and their juices to pan, shake pan to cover the meatballs with sauce, and lower heat. Partly cover pan and simmer until the meatballs are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Serve hot, drizzled with more olive oil and sprinkled with more cheese, if you like.

Steps:
- Fill a large stockpot with water and bring to a boil for pasta.;
- Make Sauce:
- In a 4-quart saucepan heat the oil over medium heat. Saute the onions until translucent, about 3 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add tomato paste, tomatoes, chipotles, oregano, rosemary, and salt. Bring all the ingredients to a low boil, reduce heat and cook for approximately 15 minutes, until liquid has evaporated slightly. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. While sauce is cooking, make meatballs.
- Preheat the broiler. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Combine the turkey with all other ingredients in a large work bowl. Form into 2 1/2 -inch balls and place on a baking sheet. Broil for 10 minutes, or until browned and almost entirely cooked through.
- Meanwhile, remove rosemary sprig from sauce and add fresh basil. Add the meatballs to the sauce, cover, and cook additional 10 minutes, or until sauce has slightly thickened and meatballs have absorbed some of the sauce. While the meatballs are cooking, cook the whole-wheat spaghetti according to package directions.
- Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Add the sauce and meatballs, toss and heat through over medium heat. Divide evenly among 4 pasta bowls and garnish with parsley and 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan.

Steps:
- Put the peeled onion and celery into a processor and blitz to a mush. Or you can chop as finely as humanly possible by hand. Reserve 2 tablespoons for the meatball mixture.
- Warm the garlic flavoured oil in a heavy saucepan or Dutch oven, add the onion and celery mixture, along with the thyme, and cook at moderate to low heat, stirring every now and again, for about 10 minutes.
- Add the cans of tomato, filling up each empty can with water to add to the pan. Season with the sugar, salt and pepper, stir and then leave to come to a bubble, and then turn down to let it simmer gently while you get on with the meatballs.
- Put all the ingredients for the meatballs, including the reserved chopped onion and celery, and salt according to preference, into a large bowl and mix together, gently, with your hands, wearing disposable vinyl gloves if you feel so inclined. Don't over-mix, as that will make the meatballs dense-textured and heavy.
- When all the meatball ingredients are not too officiously amalgamated, start rolling. The easiest way really to do this is to pinch out an amount about the size of a generously heaped teaspoon and roll into a bowl between the palms of your hands. Put the meatballs on a baking tray, lined with baking parchment or greaseproof paper, as you go. You should get about 50 little meatballs.
- Drop these gently into the simmering sauce; I try and let these fall in concentric circles working around the pan from the outside edge inwards, in only the vaguest of fashions.
- Let the meatballs cook for 30 minutes, until cooked through. Serve with rice or pasta or however you so please.

- Meanwhile, cook cranberry sauce, orange juice, brown sugar, ginger, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly, until smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Using a pastry brush, generously coat meatballs with 1/3 cup cranberry sauce mixture. Return meatballs to oven and continue to bake until glaze is shiny and caramelized, about 5 minutes more.
- Shake sheet to coat meatballs with sauce. Transfer remaining sauce to a serving bowl and transfer meatballs to a serving platter. Top meatballs with sage leaves before serving, if using.

TURKEY MEATBALLS IN BROWN SAUCE

Steps:
- Meatballs, part 1:.
- Place turkey in a glass bowl. Squish to to cover the bottom of the bowl.
- Crack egg atop turkey. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top. Add ketchup and chopped onion.
- Stir meat mixture until combined, but don't over mix (you run the risk of tough meatballs!).
- Set this aside. This can be made in advance (and the flavors will meld beautifully!). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate this mixture for up to two days. Bring it up to room temp while prepping the sauce.
- Sauce:.
- Combine water and 2/3 cup nonfat powdered milk. I like to use a ranch dressing shaker to do this, because it makes pouring the milk into the saucepan later *much* easier. Set this aside.
- In a medium saucepan whisk together Worcestershire sauce, 1 tbsp of water, and the flour. Whisk well to remove lumps. Heat over medium-low until you form a "roux." Try to avoid browning the flour. even though it's hard to judge with the W-sauce being brown.
- Slowing whisk in about a third of your milk. Whisk well! You want to achieve a smooth sauce, with no lumps.
- Continue to whisk. Increase heat to medium. As sauce begins to thick, add remaining milk in a slow stream, whisking all the while. (At this point if you have lumps in the sauce just run it through a fine sieve and discard the lumps. No one's the wiser).
- Allow the sauce to thicken somewhat, then add the remaining ingredients. Simmer for three minutes, then remove the sauce to a bowl and set aside.
- Meatballs, part 2:.
- To shape the meatballs scoop about a tablespoon of the mix and roll into a ball shape. Place rolled meatballs on a cutting board or other clean surface. You should get about 30 small meatballs.
- In the same saucepan you are going to brown the meat balls. First, spray a 2-quart dutch oven pot with nonstick, and set it close-by. Then generously coat your saucepan with nonstick. Working in batches, brown your meatballs. About one minute per side with a hot pan over medium heat seems to work just fine. As your meatballs finish browning, place them in the dutch oven pot.
- Before adding the sauce to the pot, stir in 1/2 cup of water. Once all of your meatballs are brown (but not thoroughly cooked), cover them with the sauce. Bring the pot to a high simmer, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until cooked through, about 30 minutes.
